Glen Hansen specializes in art inspired by the architecture of cities like Paris, Prague, and Venice. Now he turns his pencils and brushes on Kansas City for a show featuring over 30 drawings and a half-dozen paintings of local buildings and their architectural and decorative details.

Hixon transformed the field of portrait photography in Kansas City and the surrounding region during a career that spanned more than seven decades. His studios—the first in the Brady Building at 11th and Main Streets, and the second just one block west in the Baltimore Hotel—welcomed thousands of patrons throughout the 1910s and 1920s.

This week we are having a "Dino Dig!"

This program will take children on an interactive musical adventure beneath the Earth’s surface! Through instrument exploration (drums, assorted percussion instruments), puppet-play, and storytelling children will learn about the wild and wacky creatures living beneath the surface of Africa and Australia. FUN, interactive rhythms will introduce animals such as meerkats, aardvarks, and gerboas… and children will discover the creature that lives further underground than ANY other (the devil worm, a native of Africa)!
The Safari continues… UNDERGROUND!!!

Part of the 2013 Off-the-Wall Film Series featuring comedies starring Kansas City native Paul Rudd. Rudd shot into the comedy stratosphere playing Peter, a painfully uncool guy desperate to strike up a friendship with the hip Sydney (Jason Segal). The film was noteworthy for Rudd’s off-the-charts comedy improvisations. With Rashida Jones. This title is recommended for adult audiences only.
